Figurative paintings

Engaging with the human body itself, Shazia’s figurative mixed media pieces explore the appeal of the female nude through tone and colour. Using her signature method of layering with abstract shapes through textile, print and painting mediums, she extends beyond the sexualised nuances of the nude to engage with character and ambiguity of the unidentified subject. 

Creating depth and curiosity, her approach intrigues viewers to discover more about the depicted persona whilst developing an appreciation for the human form as a familiar yet undistinguished subject.
